The setting
The Marmara Bodrum - Adult Only is halfway up the hill overlooking the city of Bodrum, about one kilometre from the city centre—close enough to walk down for dinner or a swim. Thanks to its quiet location and the fact that the hotel is for adults only, you can fully enjoy relaxing by the pool. Both Bodrum Beach and Kumbahce Beach are just a few minutes’ walk from the hotel, and the surrounding streets are also easy to explore on foot.
What to expect
Enjoy your stay at this 5-star adults-only hotel, which features a pool, a fitness centre, tennis courts, and table tennis tables. The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a balcony, and other standard amenities, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. If you rent a car, parking spaces are available; airport transfers to and from the hotel can also be arranged.
Things to do nearby
Bodrum Beach is just a few minutes’ walk down the hill and is perfect for swimming or spending a relaxing day by the water. Kumbahce Beach is also very close by; there are cafes lining the shore, and the marina is within easy reach. Since the Old Town’s narrow streets, bars, and the harbour are all within walking distance of the hotel, you won’t need a taxi for your evening strolls.
Best for
It’s perfect for couples and solo travellers looking to spend a luxurious week in Bodrum in an “adults-only” setting. Since the hotel is exclusively for adults, there are no children splashing around the pool, and you won’t have to wait in line at the pool bar. This is the perfect option for guests who want to use a full-service 5-star hotel with a spa, tennis courts, and a fitness centre as their base, while still being able to walk to the city’s beaches and restaurants. Since guests under the age of 13 are not permitted to stay at the hotel, it is not suitable for families.
How to get to the hotel
The nearest airport is Milas-Bodrum; depending on traffic conditions, the drive to the hotel takes about 35–45 minutes. You can also arrange a private transfer when making your reservation. Taxis will be available upon your arrival. If you’re arriving by car, parking spaces are available on the hotel grounds. After check-in, you can walk to the town and the beach, and other destinations on the peninsula are quickly accessible by taxi.

A week, loosely planned
Suggestions, not orders. Tour ideas to mix and match for your trip.
Arrival and a first look at Bodrum
Upon arrival at Milas-Bodrum Airport, take your pre-booked shuttle to get to the hotel. Once you’ve dropped off your luggage and changed into comfortable clothes, head straight to the pool to shake off the fatigue from your flight. Then head down to town for an early dinner at one of the restaurants near the marina, and then walk back along the coastal road, past Kumbahce Beach. Don’t overexert yourself—you still have a whole week ahead of you.
Bodrum Beach and old town lanes
You’ll spend the morning at the beach in Bodrum, where you can go for a swim, read a book, or have a cup of coffee at a café set back from the sandy beach. After lunch, you’ll stroll through the narrow streets of the Old Town with its white-washed houses, pop into small shops, and treat yourself to some ice cream. Late in the afternoon, you’ll return to the hotel to relax by the pool, and when the heat subsides, you’ll head into town to enjoy dinner.
Spa day and tennis at the hotel
Treat yourself to a day where you don’t have to leave the hotel grounds. Book a massage and enjoy the sauna, steam room, and wellness centre at your own pace. Play a game of tennis in the morning or in the evening when it cools down a bit, and if you still have the energy, you can plan a workout at the gym. Lunch by the pool, an afternoon nap on the balcony, a drink at the bar.
Boat trip around the bays
Head to Bodrum Beach and join a day-long boat tour of the nearby coves. On most tours, the boat stops at three or four swimming spots, and lunch is served on board. Be sure to bring sunscreen, a hat, and cash for drinks. Since you’ll be returning in the late afternoon, you’ll have just enough time to take a shower and enjoy a refreshing drink on the terrace before heading out for dinner.
Kumbahce Beach and sunset drinks
Take the a walk to Kumbahce Beach and enjoy a peaceful morning by the sea. There are also cafes along the boardwalk where you can have lunch. Spend the rest of the day relaxing at the hotel. You can go for a swim, play table tennis, or spend another hour or so relaxing at the spa. When the sun isn’t quite so hot, find a bar with a view of the castle on the other side of the bay and have a cocktail or two before a late dinner.
Castle, museum and market browsing
This morning, you’ll visit the castle in Bodrum and the Museum of Underwater Archaeology located inside it. It’s best to head out early, before it gets too hot. Then you can take a leisurely stroll through the streets around the harbour, browse the shops and small galleries, and have lunch at a shady café. Give the afternoon, you’ll return to the pool, and in the evening you’ll enjoy a cozy dinner in town, where you’ll have plenty of mezze to sample.
Peninsula day trip
Rent a car for the day or take a taxi tour of the peninsula. Enjoy a leisurely lunch by the sea in Gümüşlük or visit the elegant marina in Yalıkavak. Go for a swim wherever the sea looks especially beautiful, and head back along the coastal road at sunset. Return to the hotel, enjoy one last swim in the pool, and then treat yourself to a leisurely dinner with a drink at the bar.
